A new sprite advertisement which shows a dictator, Kim-Jong-il, modeled a North Korean leader among chinese websites. This video is produced in Israel and shows Kim-Jong-il drinking the soda as his armies are marching. Then, a soldier brings a sprite. After drinking it, the leader shouts, "can you feel it?" Suddenly, the soldiers start to dance  and the military march switches into a party. As shown above, North Korea and its government are citicized in many different ways such as videos, articles, and other sources that people are familiar with. I believe that through the media, many people will start to criticize more about North Korea as their isolation continues. This also shows that eventhough Kim-Jong Ill is treated as a sacred figure in North Korea, he is treated as a funny icon outside the world.
